spn Natasha was very irritated. Even though Congress passed the troop increase draft, the first and second batches of troops also arrived in Iraq. Nearly half of the third batch of the First Armored Division also entered Iraq from Saudi Arabia.
, the entire northern Iraqi government is in a state of excitement.
However, another thing bothered her, the issue of command power, and Natasha was not a person who liked power very much. If the superiors sent a wise commander over, Natasha would definitely hand over the power honestly.
, but what she couldn't imagine was that Congress actually authorized the 1st Armored Division Major General Commander Kevin Taylor to jointly command with her.
Taylor, who has the rank of major general, has priority in making decisions. If Natasha has any doubts about Taylor's command, she can report it to the Ministry of Defense, which will convene the Joint Chiefs of Staff for review.
The reason why Natasha is so upset is of course not because Taylor is an idiot, nor because her command rights have been taken away. On the contrary, Taylor is not an idiot. Although they are joint command, she is still in charge of the intelligence system, so she has the right to
It was not taken away.
However, Taylor is not a fool, but a butcher. The First Armored Division is famous, and so is Taylor. With his torrent of steel, he has dominated many battlefields, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, but in these two wars,
Among them, Taylor never cared about the life and death of ordinary people, and even ordered the massacre of prisoners and civilians.[
He is a war madman full of courage, and his obsession with war has reached the point of obsession. In his dictionary, there is no word civilian. As long as they are in a war zone, they are all people who can be slaughtered. For this reason, the United States Congress has
He loves and hates her at the same time, but even if he is warned repeatedly, he has no restraint.
Fortunately, Taylor faced bin Laden and Saddam in the first two wars. These two men are notorious around the world, so no matter how crazy things he does, he can cover up the past, but
Now Taylor is about to face another madman.
This madman is not like Taylor who pursues war irrationally. On the contrary, he has cold and rational decisions. He dared to pull out the teeth of the American tiger in Iraq, and even ended up directly fighting the American tiger. His madness was because of his courage.
Because an ordinary person would never be stupid enough to go against a superpower like the United States.
But he did it, and he did it very well. He calculated step by step, just like slaughtering a lamb, unhurriedly and full of artistry, but he also had a ferocious side, which was more ferocious than Taylor.
If Taylor, the wolf, comes to Iraq and faces the lion opposite him, he will bite like crazy, but in the end he will pay a heavy price, even his life.
This is one of the reasons for Natasha's irritability, but this is not the point. The point is that she feels that Congress and the President are idiots for actually moving troops from Kuwait, giving up such a good strategic position, and moving troops all the way here.
We need to engage in a head-on battle with the Prophet Army on the opposite side.
After the Korean War and the Vietnam War, this seems to be the first time that the United States has fought such an unprepared war, and it also knew that the Prophet Army on the opposite side was supported by Russia, a powerful country, and no longer had maritime superiority.
In such a situation, if a madman is sent to take command, Natasha can already expect the next result, but she can't stop it. What she wants is definitely not this kind of support, because it is just a psychological comfort at best. For the US military in Iraq
, a psychological comfort for the northern government.
Having lost the heavy military base in Kuwait, and with the Russian aircraft carrier cruising in the Persian Gulf, they have now become a lonely force. At least in terms of modern warfare, it can indeed be described like this, because the US military has always been proud of long-range delivery.
and surgical strikes, but now there is neither.
"No, I must... convince Congress to change its current actions." Natasha was about to collapse, but she still held on and did not fall. Ever since she became an enemy of Canglong, she was somewhat powerless because she had already
She had predicted the result. No matter how hard she tried, she would still lose in the end. Even if Canglong was truly driven to a dead end, someone would always come out to disrupt the situation, and most of them were her own people.
The person opposite always grasps this point and escapes from her dragnet. She keeps failing, which has almost worn away all her self-confidence. Now she has begun to act like a fly on her head. Although she can distinguish the priorities, there are many
All judgments are wrong.
But this time she thought she must be right. She had a strong feeling that what was about to happen would be a failure that even the United States could not bear.
But just as she was about to leave, Sea Eagle suddenly appeared. He smoked a cigarette and said calmly: "Do you think it will be useful for you to go now?"
"Why doesn't it work? I am an American, and the United States is a free country. No one in this country can be dictatorial. When someone makes a resolution that threatens all Americans, it is easy for him to step down." Nata
Sha said coldly, "If reporting fails, I will go back and meet the president directly!"
"Childish!" Haidiao sarcastically said, "If you want the president to step down, you have to kill him. Otherwise, you have seen so many presidents in the United States. Which one was forced to step down by this kind of thing? The previous president launched two wars.
It almost dragged the United States into a quagmire of war, but do Americans really hate him? No, they don't. Rather than being dragged into a vortex, Americans are more afraid of following the old path of the Soviet Union and becoming a third-rate country.
Just like Russia, in order to prevent themselves from becoming a third-rate citizen, even if they hate it, they only talk about it and will not take any practical actions."
Natasha was stunned. Her face was pale and her body was trembling involuntarily. Suddenly, she lowered her head and sobbed softly.
Haidiao walked over, caressed her shoulder, and comforted: "You have done a good job, but some things cannot be changed by you alone, especially a country when it involves the interests of many people.
, you will find that the so-called fairness, freedom, and democracy are only for a few people. The world will always be in the hands of the richest people, and the remaining 90% must work for the richest 10%.
This kind of thing happens in any country, but some countries cover it up very well, such as us, some countries cover it up worse, such as the former Soviet Union, and some countries do not cover it up at all, such as..."
After hearing these words, Natasha's face suddenly calmed down. She raised her head and looked at the sea eagle, and said without blinking: "Whose do you belong to?"
The sea eagle was stunned and suddenly smiled: "You finally saw it?"
"You taught me a lot, but you have been taking advantage of my trust. But despite this, what you taught me still allowed me to see through you. Tell me, who are you?" Natasha excitedly took out the
She pointed her gun at Haidiao's forehead, although she knew very well in her heart that facing the oldest member of the SOG, her gun would have no effect at all.[
"A chess piece, just like you, thinks it can change the world, thinks it can get fairness, but in the end, it turns out that everything is in vain. A chess piece that can crush you to death with just a few fingers, even in the eyes of some people
, you are a worthy existence." Haidiao was still smoking calmly, but his tone became deeper, as if he was sighing, but also angry.
Natasha suddenly put down the gun and asked, "What's going on?"
"Don't you already know everything?" Haidiao said with a wry smile, "Even if I tell you, the answer is already in your mind."
"Already have the answer?" Natasha looked confused, "I don't understand."
"You have lost so many times, not because you are really inferior to him. In fact, you are not inferior to him at all, but you are two points less than him. The first point is because he is very lucky, and the second point is still
He is very lucky." Haidiao contradicted himself.
Natasha was confused at first, but soon she understood that the first luck was timing, which is real luck, but the second luck was man-made, this was created luck, and this man-made luck was
It was the real reason for her failure. She suddenly thought of being in the interrogation room of the CIA. If it weren't for such luck, she might not be where she is now.
No matter what she was doing, there was a force in the dark that was pushing her towards failure. She finally understood the meaning of the sea eagle and how naive she was now. In fact, she should have understood it a long time ago, but she didn't want to believe it.
, the motherland, cloaked in a veil of freedom and democracy, is really in the facts she believes.
"Is there really no way to change it?" Natasha looked at the sea eagle, her eyes full of despair. She was asking the sea eagle as well as herself.
Originally, Haidiao was going to tell her a negative answer, but seeing the despair in her eyes, Haidiao suddenly thought of the innocence of the little girl when he first met Natasha.
She is talented, think of her outstanding talents.
And now all this began to disappear with despair. At that moment, Haidiao changed what he wanted to say and said directly: "Maybe it can be changed, but you must have a stronger belief, just like the enemy opposite you.
He has such belief."
"Aren't you childish?" Natasha asked again. At this time, her eyes were a little more hopeful, even though the sea eagle mentioned her enemy.
"Whether you are naive or not is not determined by others. When you succeed, everyone will say you are smart, but if you fail, others will say you are stupid. This important other people are the biggest enemies in life.
, they are always blocking your way forward, always buzzing in your ears like flies, disturbing your peace." The sea eagle said calmly.
"I understand." Natasha put away her gun and walked towards the staff headquarters.
The sea eagle suddenly asked: "Where are you going?"
"Do what I should do. If that fly lingers in my ears again, I will slap him to death." Natasha's tone was very decisive...
